This show was released in 2003 so it was near the era when Nickelodeon rocked and still aired good shows, "All Grown Up!" is definitely one of them.
The show focuses on the main characters from the original Rugrats series 10 years older and this was a pretty interesting idea, seeing them out of the pen and into the world where they tackle tougher problems.
The characters are pretty much the same as they were in Rugrats except older. Tommy who's the leader of the group and still looks out for the others, Chuckie who's a risk taker and does look out for Kimi, being a responsible step-brother plus he does give Tommy good advice, Phil and Lil who are more independent from each other but are still caring siblings, Susie who pursues a career in singing and focuses on her future in college but still a great friend, Angelica is much nicer in this series where at 3 years of age she was hell spawn, but now she's a lot more tolerable in this series, Kimi who likes to help others and of course Dil, Tommy's younger brother who's definitely my favorite character from the show. He has a much bigger role in this series which I'm really glad to see. He is weird but nice, smart, caring, isn't afraid of trying new things and doesn't care about what other people think of him.
The episodes themselves are pretty compelling, I really liked "Coup DeVille", "Lucky 13", "O Bro, Where Art Thou?", "All Broke Up" and especially the longer episodes like "R.V. Having Fun Yet?" and "Dude, Where's My Horse?" which almost felt like full length movies than regular episodes. In some of the episodes themselves, I like the fact that they discuss more grown up and tougher hardships like going through a break-up or being framed by a con artist. This show was presumably for the people that grew up with Rugrats so they would be able to tackle these kinds of problems at a certain age.
The animation is very good, the voice acting is solid, the episodes are enjoyable and some of the lines are pretty funny. Overall, a great spin-off to a great show and I would recommend it to anyone whether you're a Rugrats fan or not.
